Prediction of the Rate of Penetration while Drilling Horizontal Carbonate Reservoirs Using the Self-Adaptive Artificial Neural Networks Technique

Rate of penetration (ROP) is one of the most important drilling parameters for optimizing the cost of drilling hydrocarbon wells. In this study, a new empirical correlation based on an optimized artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict ROP alongside horizontal drilling of carbo...
